520 |a The Evangelical Society was founded in 1808. The society was formed in order to teach the Gospel to the poor in the outlying areas of Philadelphia. The society met weekly at the Third Presbyterian Church. This collection consists of minutes of the Evangelical Society, 1808-1817. In addition to detailing the actions of the society, this collection also documents early Black Presbyterianism in Philadelphia. Among the minutes are descriptions of the construction of the first building of the First African Presbyterian Church at Seventh and Shippen (now Bainbridge) streets and records of meeting with the church’s founder, John Gloucester. Researchers may also wish to review William T. Catto’s book, A Semi-Centenary Discourse (1857) that documents the history of John Gloucester's communications with The Evangelical Society. See in HSP’s library: A Semi-Centenary Discourse: Delivered in the First African Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, May, 1857 (call number UPA/Ph BX 9211 .P5 F568 1857).
